Sam Childers: The Real Machine Gun Preacher - Speaking about his work Rescuing Children in War Torn Africa
Posted on
It's not every day that a Machine Gun Preacher comes to town! Sam Childers is coming to Hayling Island to share his story and his journey with you about his mission and his work rescuing vulnerable children.
This is the journey that took him to Sudan to rescue child soldiers from rebel armies. To date he has rescued over 1,500 children and as a result of his selfless work in 2013 he received the Mother Teresa Award for International Social Justice (the largest award of its type in the world for International Social Justice) and to date he is the only American ever to be bestowed with that honour. This is the same honour that the Dalai Lama and UK House of Lords rep, Baroness Caroline Cox were also bestowed with in previous years.
